1 - Project Description: Statue of Unity at Kevadia is a project of national importance and is amongst world iconic statue structure, constructed in memory of iron man of India Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

2 - Statue Height: 182.00m Tall Structure

3 - Critical Design Issue: World’s tallest statue structure as such its design is a technically challenging task keeping in view of criticality in terms of Basic Wind Speed of 50m/s and seismic loadings corresponding to Seismic Zone - IV.

4 - Foundation: Concrete cores of this tall Structure are founded on thick raft resting on a strong basalt formation within a drum wall which has been laterally supported at base to resist of base level forces.

5- Super-structure: Concrete cores has been coupled by provision of coupling walls and torsion slabs to make them perform together against twisting modes of displacements. Due to large extent of area exposed to wind loads, 2 Nos -200T Tuned Mass Dampers has been installed at view gallery level take control of lateral displacements.

6 - Statue Cladding and supporting framework: Sizable Bronze panels for cladding needed to be supported adequately on wind girders which in turn were used to transfer external wind loads to main cores through a network of primary and secondary structural steel frame work.

7 - View Gallery: Exhibition area 8000 Sqm of at four different levels with viewing gallery at chest height.

(C) Construction Phase: Check, scrutinize and certify shop drawings, construction drawings, vendor drawings submitted by the EPC contractor during the entire construction area. Ensure high quality and compliance with the design documents. Prepare daily and weekly reports in addition to the Monthly Reports. Vet and certify all technical reports submitted by the EPC contractor

Speaking on the occasion, Sandeep Gulati, Interim CEO, Egis India said that “Egis is synonymous with iconic infrastructure solutions across the world. We are extremely proud to be associated with this iconic structure, a first of its kind in the country. We take this opportunity to thank M/s Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited, for their faith in us and for their unstinted support throughout the project duration.”

Vikas Chopra, COO, Egis India added that “This project has presented us the unique opportunity to showcase our global expertise and experience on a project of such a large scale. We are grateful to M/s Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited for giving us this opportunity.”
